Caribou

Caribou is the second-largest city in Arostook County, Maine, United States, known as "the most northeastern city in the United States" (its motto). Lumber and trapper camps were established in the area during the 1810s, while it was a part of the United Kingdom along with a few other parts of northern Maine. During the 1820s, the first settlers arrived, and conflict between the USA and the United Kingdom erupted from 1838 to 1840 in the undeclared Arostook War, which left 38 men dead from non-combat causes. In 1842, the Webster-Ashburton Treaty granted Caribou to the United States, and it became a hub of the potato industry until the 1970s. In 2015, Caribou had a population of 7,816 people.
